Just a few things we've added to our Van-Mod channel. Check it out.

FJ Camper furniture install Part A

The first of three videos showing what we installed in the FJ yesterday. Could not have done it without the help of my very strong son. Part A focuses on the back of the rig showing the Rotopax water tanks, water feed hose, fridge and fridge tray, and the two drawers.

FJ Camper furniture install Part B

Second video in the FJ Camper install series. This video focuses on the passenger side of the build showing the cot extension in drive and sleep modes.

FJ Camper furniture install Part C

Last in the three part series, this video focuses on the driver side of the furniture showing the side panel, LED night light, exterior light switches, and the Anker Solix C1000 power station.

FJ Camper water system test

Months in the making, finally got the water system tested. Everything works as designed. Will need to be careful with the outflow velocity as our 3gpm water pump will empty a 2 gallon Rotopax in no time.

Water pump and switch wiring test

A bit of trial and error to make sure we have the right wires from the relay harness connected to the right switch wires. Used the water pump as the test device. Working well. Next is going back in the rig and troubleshooting the exterior lights wiring.

FJ Camper phase one framing

Trying something new with our videos. Changed the camera orientation and hid my dog further away so you can only barely hear the barking. Notice the Tacoma long bed furniture is still in my shop...long story.

Complete! Tacoma long bed camper build

This custom furniture project was for a client that owns a Tacoma long bed with a Super Pacific X1 camper shell. Fridge tray for a 75L Dometic fridge on lock-in/lock-out slides. Outdoor kitchen with collapsible sink cutout and Wilsonart Solicor laminate on lock-in/lock-out slides. Storage drawer on lock-in/lock-out slides. Storage bench with hinged lid.

Update - FJ Camper furniture & systems

A reasonably quick summary of where we are with the design to date.

FJ Camper water system

How we are planning to get potable water from two different locations to where we need it at the back of the FJ.

Update: Tacoma long bed camper build

The latest thinking on how we are going to make the sliding table portion of this camper build furniture.

Linear glide and plunger

We completely redesigned how the cot extension is going to slide using industrial strength linear glides...also came up with a nifty way to keep the cot extension in place while driving.

New Camper design additions

We talk a bit about the new RotopaX/Hi-Lift jack carrier, the suite of RIG'd Supply products to be added, and the U-shaped outdoor galley we'll have under the FSR 270 awning.

RotopaX/Hi-Lift jack carrier

A fun project we just started that when done will allow us to carry four gallons of gas plus a Hi-Lift jack on the back of our FJ using the existing spare tire carrier mounting location on the rear door.

Custom brackets!

A not so short vid on why we are making a variety of custom mounting brackets for the FJ Cruiser Stealth Camper and how they will be used.

Latest project for an overlanding client.

FJ Camper: drawer boxes!

An update on how we plan to build this very important part of our camper furniture.

FJ Camper furniture update

We learned a few things after building our wood test mockup.

FJ Camper furniture mockup

Full-scale test mockup built out of 2x4s to better understand how the design would fit in the FJ available space. Some things are great, some not so great.

FJ Camper furniture design

Our v2 attempt at getting both the pivoting cot extension and sliding desk to work. If the FJ was shaped like a RAM ProMaster, this might have worked.

FJ Camper build design

The initial design concept. Cot with extension, storage drawer under cot, camp stove drawer, fridge tray, and Rotopax jugs for water.
